Before all the relevant implementation and test suite work is done I
suspect at least a year has passed. So one year from now would be good,
though sooner is better. (For specifications I edit anyway.) Having said
that, settling down on syntax changes I would prefer to do sooner. I'm
fine with more simplifications and nicer looking constructs such as the
recently introduced getter/setter, but it would be nice if we could round
that set of changes up before the end of this year.
